⚔️ Survival & Combat Basics

Combat is inevitable, whether you’re a predator hunting or prey defending yourself. Beginners often rush into fights too soon — but knowing the basics makes all the difference.

🪓 Basic Attacks

• Every animal has a regular attack — a quick strike with no ragdoll effect.

• Use it to test prey or fend off attackers.

🐘 Heavy Attacks

Some species have special attacks:

• Trample: Activated while sprinting with heavy animals.

• Charge Attack: Powerful forward rush with cooldown.

• Charged Attack: Hold to charge up; strong enough to cause ragdolls.

🐾 Pounce & Grab

• Certain predators can pounce and grab prey.

• The target must complete a minigame to escape.

• Difficulty increases with the attacker’s weight and the number of attackers.

🌀 Ragdolls Explained

• A ragdoll makes your character fall into physics simulation.

• You lose control until it ends.

• Falling downhill or being swarmed while ragdolled can mean certain death.

⚔️ Combat Tips for Beginners

• Don’t pick fights at baby stage — focus on growth first.

• In groups, you’re stronger. Even small herbivores can fend off predators when together.

• Always keep some stamina reserved to escape.

• If you’re losing, retreat. Dying costs more than running away.

✅ Summary

Combat isn’t just about fighting — it’s about choosing when to fight. Be smart, use your abilities wisely, and never risk your growth needlessly.
